In 2023, Germany's available solid fossil fuels for final consumption stood at 5.85 Million Tonnes of Oil Equivalent. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast reveals a slight annual increase in availability, from 5.9 to 6.12 Million Tonnes, with a year-on-year growth ranging from 0.85% to 1.00% and a 5-year CAGR of approximately 0.9%. This suggests a gradually increasing trend in solid fossil fuel consumption, assuming stability in external factors affecting Germany’s energy sector.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifts in energy policy favoring renewables could decrease fossil fuel availability.
- Economic factors affecting industrial demand for fossil fuels.
- Innovations in energy efficiency potentially reducing consumption volumes.
